Ricardo Warfield Explains the 16 Personality Types

Every person is an individual but there seem to be
personality traits that are similar in nature. These traits can be used to
indentify different psychological types of human consciousness and the attitudes
and preferences those personality types share. Ricardo Warfield is a business
professional but also a Certified Myers Briggs Personality Type practitioner.
As such, Ricardo Warfield understands the variances of personality types by
their four letter combinations.

Personality Types are first broken down into general
attitude. The two types are:

·(E) Extroverts

·(I) Introverts

According to Ricardo
Warfield, "Many introverts are stereotyped as being shy but this is not
necessarily true. Introverts are people who put a lot of focus in thought and
ideas. They may also enjoy a lot of time at home or alone." By extension,
an extrovert is someone who is concerned with external matters and, "They
are typically viewed as outgoing while enjoying a highly social environment,"
explains Ricardo
Warfield.

There are then four breakdowns of a person's mental
functions. These are how a person interprets information. As taught by the
Myers Briggs theory, that Ricardo Warfield is certified in, these are:

·(S) Sensing

·(N) Intuition

After the way a person interprets information is the
process by which people make decision. "Some people may take time to think
their choices through using logic or base their decision on a person or
situation," explains Ricardo Warfield. For determining personality types,
this breaks decision making into:

·(T) Thinking

·(F) Feeling

Finally, personality types finish with what the
Myers Briggs personality type calls "structure." According to Ricardo
Warfield, this means if people make a firm decision or stay open to new
information. The final breakdown in personality is defined as either:

·(P) Perceiving

·(J) Judging

Important to Ricardo Warfield and others that look
at the different personality types is understanding that each personality type
has value. Some people may prefer personality types over others but each have
value. According to Ricardo Warfield, the different categories are combined to
make the 16 different recognizable personality types.

According to Ricardo Warfield, there
are plenty of benefits to understanding your personality type. For some people,
finding out your personality can help determine which fields or industries
would be best to pursue as a career. According to Ricardo Warfield, once a
person recognizes the strengths of their personality they can use it as a tool
to determine a career path and point to strengths in the hiring process.
